bada hitz egiten dugun atzealdean zerbait dena aurrerako norabidea hartuko balu bezala norabide makur bat nire beheko ni nire goi-gogoa nire goi mailakoa +++ when we talk there is something behind it that goes forward as if it takes direction a crooked direction my inferior self my superior self my superior level

Irratia 03:27
irrati-afizionatuen historioak kontatu zizkidaten sintonizatu gabeko frekuentziak erabiltzen zituzten eta nahi zutena erraten zuten sistemaren kontra bazen ere familiaren kontra bazen ere iñork entzuten ez bazuen ere gogor zapaltzen zaituzte gogor zapaltzen zaituzte preso sartzen zaituzte. (bis) baina -- agian ----- norbaitek entzuten du gero... --- miatzen dute --- zure etxea ---zure etxea gogor zapaltzen zaituzte preso---- sartzen zaituzte orain --- hemendik idazten dizkizut --- eskutitzak beraz, ulertzen duzu ez zaitut ahazten ez zaitut ahazten ez zaitut ahazten (nire irratia) ++++ I was told stories of radio amateurs They used uninhabited frequencies and said what they wanted Although it was against the system Although it was against the family No one listenened --- but someone They crush you hard They crush you hard They put you in prison. (bis) But - perhaps ----- someone listens Then ... --- they search your home --- your home They crush you hard they put in prison ---- they get you Now --- I am writing here letters So you understand I don't forget you I don't forget you I don't forget you (My radio)

Nire amaren etxea defendituko dut Aitaren kontra Otsoen kontra, Sikatearen kontra, Lukurreriaren kontra, Justiziaren kontra, defenditu eginen dut nire amaren etxea. +++ I'll defend my mother's house.

Zaila egiten zait Arnasa hartzea Zati bat hautsita dago Eta beste batek eduki zuen Aldi berean Aldi berean Eskua kopetan Atseden Kolpatu lepoan Atseden Nire lagunak entzuten nau Bularra erretzen da Baina ez nago bakarrik Gaua irekitzen da +++ it makes me difficult to breath a part is broken and another was held at the same time at the same time hand in the forehead breathe tap on the neck breathe my friend listens to me the chest burns but I'm not alone the night opens

Unibertsoa 04:14
Unibertsoak Unibertsoak hori Unibertsoak babesten du du eta badaki Zer egin behar duen Unibertsoak berriro Dena --- normalizatuko --- du du eta badaki du eta badaki du eta badaki Parte hartu nahi duten guziei +++ The universe protects this universe and knows what the universe needs to do to normalize everything again and knows to all that wants to participate

Lantegi 05:24
Zilarrezko izarra gehien disdira duena Zergaitik gurutzez betetako kalbario hortik nauzu eramaten ? zaldi gainean zoaz zerutik +++ Silver star the one that most shines Why do you take me through this calvary full of crosses while you ride on horseback from the sky

Benetan 05:08
aliatu faltsuak agerian geratu ziren urtea izan zen, nire ustez. laguntzen dizutela ematen dute, eta benetan ikusezina bihurtzen zaituen eta baztertzen zaituen jendea da. eta benetan... eta orain diot: geldialdirik ez! geldialdia amaitu da inoiz gehiago +++ false allies were revealed it was the year, in my opinion. They say they help you, But they actually turn you invisible They exclude you They are these people. And actually... And now I say: no more stagnation! The stagnation is over not anymore
